Auto Store: Aer the watermaker fresh water ushes, it will start a countdown mer that can be

seen on the Home screen. The mer indicates the next programmed fresh water ush if the wa-

termaker is not started again, or the ‘Stop’ buon is not pressed.

Fill Tank: The watermaker will automacally run unl the Tank Full switch in the water storage

tanks closes. Once the Tank Full switch closes, the watermaker automacally fresh water ushes,

then reverts to the Auto Store mode.

Auto Run: The watermaker can be set to run for a number of hours, or for a quanty of water to

be produced. When the desired quanty of water is produced or the run mer expires, the water-

maker will Fresh Water Flush and enter the Auto Store mode.

Thank you for your purchase of a Spectra Newport 400c system. When properly installed and

maintained, it will provide years of trouble free service. Professional installaon is strongly rec-

ommended. Like any piece of mechanical equipment, the system will require inspecon and

service, so plan ahead for service access and install “service loops” in cabling. If a dealer is in-

stalling the system for you, review the locaon of the components to ensure the installaon

will meet your approval upon compleon.

Newport Installation Quick Start

Important Details for Installer

1. The system must have a dedicated sea water inlet to guarantee a constant ow of water to

the system. The inlet should be as low in the boat as possible with a dedicated, forward-facing

scoop-type thru-hull ng.

2. Both the Newport 400c feed pump module and the Clark Pump/Membrane module must be

installed in a well venlated compartment where temperatures will not exceed 113°F (45°C).

Many engine compartments exceed this temperature when underway. Warranty will be void if

the installaon does not meet this requirement.

3. Follow the wire gauge charts in the instrucons! Using larger wire than specied is accepta-

ble.

4. If you are separang the Clark Pump/membrane assembly, please review the high pressure

tube assembly instrucons. Improper assembly will cause failure!

5. Run, test, then sea trial the complete system before assuming it is operaonal. If the boat is

in fresh or dirty water, see Dry Tesng the System. Aer tesng, make sure the ush cycle op-

erates properly. The water going overboard at the end of the ush should measure <1000 PPM

Total Dissolved Solids.

6. The Spectra Connect control must have DC power connuously to achieve the full benets

of the fresh water ush system. The domesc fresh water pressure must be on and the fresh

water tank level maintained. Calculate about 7 gallons (27 liters) per ush.

7. The Spectra Connect control must be de-powered (DC power o) aer the system is pickled

or winterized.

8. Spectra dealers are responsible for educang the vessel owners on the operaon and

maintenance of the system. Please walk through the enre installaon with our customer.

9. The equipment owner should ll out the warranty card or register online.

Getting Started

Installation Basics

• Read the direcons!

• Avoid ght hose bends and excessive hose runs.

• Use heavy gauge wire.

• Install the feed pump module as low as possible.

• The boost pump module must be installed below waterline.

• Use a dedicated thru-hull with scoop-type strainer.

• Do not mount components over electrical devices.

• Avoid geng dirt or debris into the piping or hoses during

assembly. A small bit of debris can stop the system!

Thru-hull Type and Locaon: The system must be connected to a dedicated 3/4” to 1” forward-

facing scoop-type intake thru-hull and seacock.

Install the thru-hull intake as far below the waterline and as close to centerline as possible to

avoid contaminaon and air entering the system. Do not install the intake close to or down-

stream of a head discharge, or behind the keel, stabilizer ns, or other underwater xtures.

Thru-hulls in the bow and stern areas are suscepble to air intake in rough condions. Sharing a

thru-hull can introduce unforeseen problems such as intermient ow restricons, air bubbles,

contaminants, and will void the warranty. For racing boats and high speed boats traveling above

15 knots, a retractable snorkel-type, or high speed thru-hull ng is preferred because it picks up

water away from the hull.

The brine discharge thru-hull should be mounted above the waterline, along or just above the

boot stripe, to minimize water li and back pressure.

Avoid restricons or long runs on the enre inlet side of the plumbing from the thru-hull to the

feed pump module.

Secure the piping away from moving objects such as engine belts and hatches. Prevent chafe on

the tubing as required. Test and inspect all piping and hose clamps aer several hours of opera-

on.

Pipe Fing Instrucons: To seal plasc-to-plasc ngs, wrap 6 to 8 layers of Teon tape over

the male pipe threads. Tightly wrap the male threads clockwise. For smoother assembly, do not

tape the rst (starng) threads.

Components

Feed Pump Module

Mount the feed pump module on a vercal surface, up to 3-

feet (1.0M) above the waterline. It is preferable to mount as

low as possible. Locate in an area that allows easy access to

both the lters, and the le hand side of the enclosure. Keep

future maintenance in mind when choosing a locaon, and do

not mount above water-sensive equipment. The feed pump

has overheat protecon and will not operate properly at

ambient temperatures over 113°F (48°C).

Remove the 6 Philips screws

on the front cover (three on shown side and three on the other)

to access the mounng holes in the back of the enclosure.

Raw Plasc Sea Strainer: Mount in front of Boost Pump Strainer. This strainer is designed to

protect the inline check valve on the Boost Pump strainer.

Boost Pump/ Sea Strainer Module: Mount close to the intake through-hull,

below the waterline, in a locaon that can handle water spillage during service. The boost

pump power cable will connect to the feed pump module.

Fresh Water Flush Module: The fresh water

ush module may be located in any convenient locaon near

the feed pump module. It should be mounted with the lter

housing vercal and accessible, with 2” below the housing for

lter changes. Do not install over electrical equipment. The

unit contains the charcoal lter, a solenoid shut o valve, and

a ush water ow regulator.

This module must be installed in an area that maintains a temperature below 113°F (45°C). It

may be placed as high in the boat as you desire, and mounted in any posion, even upside

down. Make sure that the area around and under the pump does not have any water sensive

equipment, as water will be spilled during any repairs or if a leak occurs. Allow for easy access

to the pressure relief valve.

The Clark pump and membrane module comes complete with a mounng system. Be sure to

use the supplied washers on the rubber feet.

Remote Touchscreen

The remote control panel can be mounted anywhere dry and

convenient. Cut a 5-5/8” (12.7 cm) wide by 3-1/4” (7.62 cm)

high opening for the panel. The display needs minimum 2

1/2” deep clearance for the cable. Take care not to damage

the plugs on the ends of the cable when roung. Use only a

Spectra-approved cable.

*Also available as an oponal local display

Accumulator Tank and Feed Pressure Gauge

The purpose of the feed line accumulators is to reduce the spikes

in the feed pressure caused by the cycling of the Clark Pump. If

the accumulators are not properly charged it can lead to

pressure spikes, decoupling, and system shut down. The

accumulator has a Schrader air valve, like a car re, which allows

the internal air bladder of the accumulator to be pre-charged.

The accumulator should be pre-charged to about 60 PSI (4.1 bar)

for best results. Add air using a re pump or air compressor. The

0-200 PSI analogue pressure gauge will allow you to monitor

Feed Pressure of the inlet water as it reaches your Clark Pump.

Plumbing Detail

Manifold (Le side of feed pump module):

Product Water Tubing

The Product water tubing is 1/4” (6.3mm) Parker tubing. Product water goes from the

membrane into the Feed Pump Module manifold where it passes through the ow meter, the

salinity probe, and the diversion valve. If the salinity is below the set threshold, the diversion

valve energizes and the product water is sent to the tank from the manifold product outlet. If

the diversion valve is not energized the product goes back into the feed water.

Connect the product outlet on the membrane end plug to the product inlet ng on the

pump module manifold using the supplied 1/4” black nylon tubing.

Route the blue product water tube from the blue product water outlet ng on the Feed

Pump Module manifold into the top of the water tank. Install a tee in the water tank ll or tap

a pipe thread into an inspecon port in the top of the tank. Do not feed the water into a

manifold or boom of the tank. Make sure there is no restricon or back pressure in this

plumbing.

If the length of product water tubing supplied with the watermaker is insucient, use a larger

size hose. Product water ow restricon will cause reduced producon and increased power

consumpon.

Warning! Never install a shuto valve on the product water tubing to ll the tank, serious

damage can occur!

Distances at le represent the total

ROUND TRIP wire length (DC posive

length plus DC negave length), NOT

the length of the pair of wires

together. Size cables accordingly.

Mount the main power terminal block in a juncon box or on a bulkhead adjacent to the feed

pump module. Make sure that this is a dry locaon well above bilge level and not subject to

water spray. Be sure to install the terminal block cover.

Check the wire size chart for appropriate wire sizes. DC power feeds should be uninterrupble

to insure proper operaon of the auto store feature. Avoid house breaker panels that could be

accidentally tripped.

Component Sizing:

• 12-Volt: Use a 32A-35A breaker and size the wiring for 25 Amperes.

• 24-Volt: Use a 15A breaker and size the wire for 13 Amperes.

• 48-Volt: Use a 10A breaker and size the wire for 8 Amperes.

• Provide circuit protecon at the source! Undersized wiring will reduce system performance.

Connect the yellow boost pump connector from the Spectra Connect housing to the

corresponding connector routed from the boost pump.

Route the cable through the vessel in the most direct route possible. Avoid kinking the wire,

or sharp corners where the wire can chafe through while the vessel is under way.

Turn power OFF to the system.

Connect the ethernet cable to back of the display in the open jack.

Connect the opposing end of the ethernet cable to the RJ12 port labeled “DISPLAY” on the

feed pump module.

Turn Power ON to the system.

The display will start automac rmware upload. You can see the upload status on the screen.

The process typically takes 10 minutes to complete.

At the end of rmware upload, you will be asked to conrm the display update. Press “OK”.

If the error message “rmware upload failed” appears, check your connecons at the control

board, and cycle power on the watermaker.

Factory Supplied Tank Full Switch

Installing the supplied tank full oat switch at the top of your water tank

allows the Spectra Connect to ll your water tank then automacally stop,

fresh water ush and return to Auto Store mode with no addional user

commands.

Note: The oat may need to be ipped 180° to work properly. The oat can

be easily ipped by removing the clip opposite the wire.

Drill and tap a 1/8” NPT port into the top of the fresh water tank that is being lled by the

watermaker. This can be installed on a tank access cover, or directly into the water tank. If

installing on an access cover, be sure to leave a service loop on the oat switch wiring to allow

removal of the tank access cover.

For Instrucons on ‘Auto Fill’ mode and installing a Tank Low switch, see ‘Auto Fill’ mode

instrucons later in this manual.

Watermakers should never be run unaended.

Your watermaker comes with the top-mounted Tank Full Switch (EL-SWT-LV) and is designed

to be mounted to the top of the water tank. The side-mounted oat switch (EL-SWT-SMLV)

can be sourced from your local dealer or Full Service Provider if you cannot access the top of

your tank.

If you do not install the Tank Full switch in your tank, you MUST DISABLE the Tank Full

Switch in the system sengs. See System Sengs instrucons later in this manual.

Tank Switch Installation

The supplied oat switch must be connected to the Green and Orange conductors at the

Feed Pump Module, labeled Tank Full Switch. There is no polarity. Connect to Tank 1.

Use 18/2 nned wire or larger. Wire is not included in the installaon kit.

Oponal Tank Low Switch

Installing the tank low oat switch about 2/3rds down from the top of your water tank allows the

Spectra Connect to run in Auto Fill mode; automacally lling your water tank, stopping itself,

fresh water ushing, returning to Auto Store mode, and then turning itself on again to ll the tank

when the water level drops below the Tank Low Switch with no addional user commands.

Drill 5/8” hole into the side of the fresh water tank that is being lled by the watermaker. This can

be installed wherever there in convenient access to the tank, approximately 2/3rds of the way

down from the top of the tank.

Drill 5/8” hole

The oat switch must be connected to the Tank Switch 2 terminals on the Spectra Connect

control board at the Feed Pump Module. There is no polarity.

For Instrucons on enabling the ‘Auto Fill’ mode see the System Sengs instrucons later

in this manual.

Watermakers should never be run unaended!

Tank Switch 2

The oponal Tank Level sensor allows even greater control of your ship’s fresh water systems. This

unique level monitoring system requires no holes to be drilled into your tank while measuring tank

volume with greater accuracy than a standard resisve oat.

Turn o the ship’s domesc water system, close the fresh water supply valve at the water tank,

then bleed o the pressure by opening a tap in the galley or head sink.

Install a tee in the water supply hose at the boom of the tank, or at inlet to the domesc water

pump. Connect open leg of the tee to the Tank Level Sensor. Note: The tank level sensor requires

a 1/4” NPT connecon. We recommend installing a minimum 1/2” tee, and using a reducing

bushing to connect the sensor.

The wiring connecons for the second Tank Level Sensor are located inside the

Spectra Connect control box. See System Sengs secon of this manual for

instrucons on enabling the second Tank Level Sensor.

See the Tank Level Calibraon (pg. 31) in the Commissioning secon of this

manual.

Optional Tank Level Sensor Installation

Route the 3 conductor cable back to the Spectra Connect control board at the feed pump

module. Extend the wires as necessary. If you must extend the wires beyond 50’ contact the

factory to ensure proper operaon.

Connect the Tank Level Sensor cables to the 3 conductors label Tank Level Sensors at the feed

pump module. Polarity must be maintained!

Operation

Commissioning

New System Start-Up and Tesng

Use this procedure when starng a new watermaker for the rst me and whenever the

system contains preservave or cleaning chemicals.

Avoid running the system if the vessel is in contaminated water, such as a dirty harbor or

canal. The system should be fully run tested before leaving on an extended journey. It is

preferable to sacrice a prelter by tesng the system briey in turbid water rather than

waing to get oshore to discover a problem or deciency in the installaon. If the locaon or

weather prevents proper tesng refer to the secon Dry Tesng with an Arcial Ocean.

1. First Check That:

• Seacock is open

• Toggle switch on the Feed Pump

Module is in the Run Auto posion

• Domesc fresh water pressure system

is on.

2. Open pressure relief valve 1/2 turn

and remove the Green Tag and washer!

3. Turn on the power to the system and the Spectra Connect screen will display, “Has the

system been stored with chemicals?” Press ‘Yes’, to start the Purge sequence. Note: The

watermaker will shut down if the pressure relief valve is le closed during the Purge mode.

• Alarm will sound

• Display will read “Has the sys-

tem been stored with chemi-

cals?”

• Conrm the Pressure Relief

Valve is open

• Press ‘Yes’ to start the Purge se-

quence

Warning! Damage may occur if the purge sequence is bypassed and

the membrane is pressurized with storage chemical in it.

Note: If you must stop the purge sequence for any reason, the control will default back to

the beginning of the purge mode to protect your system.

5. Aer the purge sequence the display will alarm with the message “Close pressure

relief valve.” Close the valve and proceed by pressing Ok to resume the Purge Cycle.

If the system is new from the factory, or stored with Propylene Glycol, addional purging me

may be required.

6. The system will now run under pressure and

desalinate water. This mode diverts the product water

overboard in case there is any residual chemicals in

the membrane. Carefully inspect for leaks over the

enre system! Shut down the system and repair any

leaks you nd.

Check the strainer and the brine discharge for water ow. The system should fully prime

within 60-90 seconds and all air should be out of the feed water hoses. The feed pump will

sound smooth.

There should be no bubbles anywhere in the intake hoses. If the feed pump connues to

sound rough, nd the reason before connuing! Inspect the system for leaks.

4. The system will start purging and the display will

show the progress and me remaining

New System Start-Up and Testing - Cont.

7. Aer the Product Purge cycle completes, the system will prompt to Restart, then advance

to the Main Menu. If this is a NEW INSTALLATION, connue to the Calibraon

Instrucons to nalize the installaon. If you are pung your watermaker back into

service, your system is now ready for use.

Dry Testing with an Artificial Ocean

If it is not possible to test run the system with the boat in the water, you may test the system

with an arcial ocean. You will need 1.3 lbs. of non-iodized salt (rock salt, sea salt, or aquarium

salt) to make a 5 gallons (33 grams of salt per liter) of water that is about 33,000 PPM salinity

(average seawater salinity). Make sure the domesc water system is powered up and the boat’s

tank has at least 60 gallons (230 Liters) of water to purge the storage chemicals from the system.

Conrm that the charcoal lter is installed in the feed pump module, and the domesc water

line is connected.

1. Open the pressure relief valve on the Clark Pump. Remove the green tag and spacer.

2. Power up the system. When the Spectra Connect displays “Has the system been stored with

chemicals?”, select “No” to bypass the purge mode.

3. Press the Fresh Water Flush buon to run a full ush cycle. Do this six mes to purge the

storage chemicals, a 36 minute process.

4. Replace the brine overboard hose with the brine service hose per gure 1.

5. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon again to ll the bucket with fresh water from the brine

discharge service hose (hose aached to Clark Pump). Press Stop when the bucket is full.

6. Mix the salt to the proper proporon or use an aquarium hydrometer to adjust the salinity

level to a specic gravity of 1.025.

7. Disconnect the quick release ng from the pigtail coming from the “To Strainer” port on

the Feed Pump Module manifold and connect the intake service hose per Figures 2 and 3.

Route both service hoses into a 5 gallon (20 liter) bucket. Disconnect the product tube from

the manifold, and using another small piece of tube, route it into the bucket.

8. Push the Start buon, then press Auto Run and program the Connect to make 10 gal (38 L)

of water, roughly 40 minutes of operaon.

9. Allow the system to prime and then close the pressure relief valve. The system should build

pressure shortly and start making water, with the brine and product water recombining in

the bucket to be cycled again. This will gradually heat the water. Do not let the water

temperature exceed 120 deg. F (49 deg. C).

10. Run the system under pressure, checking for proper operaon and leaks. Aer tesng the

system, re-install the brine discharge hose, product tube, and fresh water hose from the

strainer. You can now ush the system by pressing the Fresh Water Flush buon.

3. When the Calibraon Sequence is complete, press the

buon in the upper le corner to return to the

Main Menu.

When prompted by the display, Click Save to make

sure that the Calibraon is stored in the system

memory.

4. The Filter Condion has now been calibrated to match your installaon.

1. During the calibraon sequence the system will automacally start, begin to make water

for several minutes and then shut itself down. Make sure that the lters have been

replaced for new, the strainer is clean, and all thru-hulls are open before proceeding.

2. Follow the steps in Figures 1—4 below to iniate the Calibraon Sequence.

Sensor Calibration

Many of the sengs on your system have been pre-calibrated during standard factory tesng,

however, there are a few sengs that will vary based on the installaon, vessel, and other

onboard condions. If the system has just been installed you must calibrate the Prelter

Condion before proceeding.

This procedure does not need to be done with each lter change under normal operaon, it

should ONLY BE DONE IF THE FILTER CONDITION WON’T RESET TO 100% WITH NEW FILTERS

AND A CLEAN/NEW STRAINER SCREEN.

Flush Adjustments

Adjustments for your Newport 400c are typically calibrated from the factory to ensure that sea

water is thoroughly ushed out of the watermaker using the least amount of fresh water.

However, due to dierent lengths of hose runs, dierent rates of ow, and dierent pressures

in shipboard fresh water systems, the ush duraon should be opmized for your boat. The

ush cycle is adjusted with 2 sengs: the pump speed and the ush duraon.

Check the pump speed

1. Close the thru-hull for the raw water inlet.

2. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon. The ush valve will open and the feed pump will start

at Flush Speed. If the ush completes normally, then the Flush Cycle is set properly.

3. If the display alarms ‘Service Prelters’ then the fresh water pump is not supplying enough

water, and the feed pump needs to be slowed down.

Slowing down the pump during a

Fresh Water Flush

Under the top of the feed pump module, under the MPC

box, is the pump speed controller. On the speed controller

board are two magnec reed switches for adjusng the

pump motor speed. The switches are narrow black bars,

5/8” (16mm) long. The increase speed switch is labeled S2;

the decrease speed switch is labeled S3. Each me a small

magnet is placed near the switch with the pump is running, the speed will change slightly.

1. Open the thru-hull for the raw water inlet.

2. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon.

3. Gently tap a magnet on the S3 Reed Switch (Decrease Speed Switch). Wait 3 seconds be-

tween each pass of the magnet.

4. Gently tap the magnet 3 mes, then go back to step 3. Repeat this process unl the Spec-

tra Connect controller no longer alarms Service Prelters.

Once you’ve adjusted the speed correctly, the speed controller will stay programmed for this

speed during fresh water ushes.

Normal Operation - Cont.

Auto Fill Mode

If your vessel is equipped with a Tank Low and a Tank Full switch, and both are enabled in the

system sengs, then your Start Menu will allow the system to be operated in Auto Fill mode.

WARNING: NEVER RUN YOUR WATERMAKER UNATTENDED. EQUIMENT CAN BE SERIOUSLY

DAMAGED, AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO SINK THE VESSEL!! Use extreme cauon when operang

in Auto Fill mode!

In Auto Fill Mode the Spectra Connect will automacally ll your water tank, stop itself, fresh

water ush, return to Auto Store mode with the ush interval mer running, and then turn

itself on again to ll the tank as soon as the water level drops below the Tank Low Switch with

no addional user commands.

Addionally, if power is interrupted at any stage of operaon, the Spectra Connect will return

to Auto Fill mode, ensuring that your tanks will always have water.

Warning! Proper understanding of the Spectra ush system and the vessel’s fresh water system is

mandatory for extended use of Auto Store. The ush cycles must not be allowed to drain all the

fresh water from the tank or damage to the vessel’s systems and the watermaker may occur.

The Auto Store funcon ushes the watermaker at programmed intervals. As long as the

watermaker is ushed with fresh water every 5 days (30 days with the Z-Ion) you need not store

the system with chemicals.

• Make sure there is enough water in the fresh water tanks to supply the watermaker for more

than the expected me of operaon in the Auto Store mode. If there isn't enough fresh water

in your tank, seawater will be drawn in and the system will not be ushed with fresh water.

The Newport 400c requires about 7 gallons (26 liters) for each ush. The boat’s pressure water

supply must be on and stay on while the system is in Auto Store mode. If these condions

cannot be met, then pickling with SC-1 storage chemical or propylene glycol is preferable.

• Make sure the pressure relief valve on the Clark Pump is closed.

• The system must be connually powered on during the Auto Store mode. Turning o the

power will disable the automac fresh water ush and damage may occur.

Maintenance, Storage

& Troubleshooting

Maintenance

General

Periodically inspect the entire system for leakage and chafing. Repair any leaks as soon as you

find them. Some crystal formation around the Clark Pump blocks is normal. Wipe down any salt

encrusted areas with a damp cloth.

Watermakers are at their best when run regularly. Biological fouling in the membrane is more

likely when a watermaker sits idle. A warm environment will cause more growth than a cold

environment. A fresh water flush every five days (30 days with the Z-Ion) will greatly reduce

biological growth, but may not stop it completely. The Z-Ion system protects the membrane

from bio-fouling without the use of storage chemicals.

The Seawater Strainer

The seawater strainer’s stainless steel element should be inspected, removed, and cleaned as

needed. Ensure that the thru-hull is closed before disassembly and the gasket is in place before

reassembly. When the system is put into storage, remove the strainer, rinse with fresh water,

and reassemble dry to impede corrosion. Check frequently during operation.

The Prefilters

Service the prelters as soon as possible aer the prelter condion graph begins to rise. If the

lter condion graph gets all the way to “Replace” the machine will slow down. When display

reaches “Replace” a second me, the alarm will sound and the system will shut down to prevent

damage. Prelter elements must be changed frequently. The rate is solely dependent on the

input water. A 5-micron lter might last you a 4-6 weeks in clear open ocean seawater, or be

ruined in minutes in a dirty harbor. Spectra does not advise to aempt to clean dirty prelters.

Prelters are a consumable item and should be changed for new when in queson. Please

review prelter bullen to page 65. prior to running your system.

To service the lters close the thru-hull, open the housings, remove the old lters, clean out the

housing bowls, and reassemble the housings with new 20 and 5 micron lter elements. The 5

micron lter goes downstream from the 20 micron. Leave dry unl next startup.

Note: Use only Spectra-approved lters or you may void your warranty. Occasionally, lightly

lubricate the O-rings with silicone grease.

Oil/Water Separator (Optional)

To install oil water separator capability, add a second lter housing UPSTREAM of the 20 and 5

micron housings. Service as you would per the instrucons above.

The Charcoal Fresh Water Flush Filter

Replace the charcoal filter element at least every 6 months. This filter protects the membrane by

removing chlorine from the flush water. Use only a Spectra-approved replacement.

Leaking Fings

The system has eight high pressure ngs, two on each cylinder on the Clark Pump, two on

the pressure vessel end caps, and two 90-degree elbows on the back of the Clark Pump. As the

compression ng is ghtened, it compresses a ferrule onto the stainless tubing, xing the

ferrule permanently to the tube and holding the compression nut capve.

The body of the ng seals to the underlying component with an O-ring. On the Clark Pump

cylinders and the end caps this O-ring is compressed by ghtening the enre ng. The O-

rings on the 90-degree ngs on the back of the Clark Pump have capve nuts and washers,

which compress the O-rings without turning the enre ng.

If a tube ng leaks it can somemes be resealed by just ghtening. You must use two

wrenches, a 13/16” wrench to hold the base, and a 7/8” wrench to turn the compression nut.

The 13/16” wrench will need to be thin so as not to interfere with the compression nut. If this

doesn’t work, disassemble the ng, grease liberally with silicone grease (the ferrule and the

threads) and re-ghten rmly.

The base O-rings should be gently compressed to achieve a good seal, and may be damaged

by overghtening.

The Feed Pump and Clark Pump

The feed pump and the Clark Pump require no routine maintenance except inspection for

leaks. Tighten any hose clamps or fittings that show signs of leakage. The high pressure fittings

threaded into the Clark Pump have O-ring seals with a straight thread. These should never leak

and should never be over-tightened. If one of the tube nuts starts to leak, it can be un-

threaded, sealed with a bit of silicone grease or oil, and tightened with two wrenches very

tightly.

The Membrane

Membranes are susceptible to mineral scaling, biofouling and oxidation damage. The leading

cause of fouling is biological growth that forms when the system is left unused without

flushing or pickling. Fouling from mineral scaling can happen under certain seawater

conditions, or from rust. Oxidation damage can occur if the membrane comes into contact

with any strong oxidant, such as Ozone, Chlorine, etc. Monitor the product salinity and feed

pressure for higher than normal readings, take environmental conditions into consideration.

Note that:

• Cold feed water or a higher salinity seawater source can cause high pressure.

• Low product flow is usually due to low voltage, a worn feed pump, or worn Clark Pump.

Due to the unique design of your Spectra system, low product water volume is typically not a

membrane problem, but frequently related to low voltage, a worn feed pump head, or a worn

Clark Pump. Always perform a flow test before cleaning your membrane.

Test to see if biological growth has occurred: Before running the system, remove the

prelters and examine their condion. If the lter housings are full of smelly, discolored water,

the system was not properly stored. Install clean prelters.

Next check the membrane. Detach the brine discharge hose, aach the brine service hose, and

lead it to a bucket. Open the pressure relief valve 1/2 turn, and manually run the system for 30

seconds (metal toggle switch on feed pump module). Examine the brine water: If it is

discolored and smells bad, perform an SC-2 cleaning with unchlorinated water before running

the system pressurized. If the brine is fairly clean, follow the New System Startup procedure

on page 28 and run normally. Check for performance. Clean the membranes only if

performance is reduced.

See the Cleaning Procedure for complete instructions.

Introducon to Spectra Chemicals

We use four types of chemicals: SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, and propylene glycol anfreeze. SC-1 and

propylene glycol are for system storage, while SC-2 and SC-3 are for membrane cleaning. Do

not use sodium-bisulfate, citric acid, or any other storage chemical not supplied by Spectra.

These chemicals, used to store other watermaker brands, will damage the Clark Pump, mem-

brane end plugs, manifolds, and other components. Using non-Spectra chemicals will void

the warranty.

Note: Never use any chemicals with the system pressurized! Always open the pressure relief

valve 1/2 turn. Always follow the instrucons for purging the chemicals as shown in the New

System Startup secon (page 28) of your owner’s manual.

Storage

SC-1 prevents biological growth when your system is idle. It should not be used as a cleaning

chemical, nor will it protect your system from freezing. A jar of SC-1 is mixed with 1 to 2 gal-

lons of product or dechlorinated fresh water in a bucket and circulated through the system for

10 minutes. This treatment will protect the system for six months, aer which the SC-1 treat-

ment must be repeated. To use SC-1, follow the instrucons for Storage Procedure.

Spectra systems should be stored with propylene glycol if freezing is likely to occur. Propylene

glycol can be used instead of Spectra SC-1 storage chemical for storage in any climate, and

treatment is eecve for one year. Propylene glycol is a food-grade anfreeze used to winter-

ize RV’s, boats, and cabins. Do not use ethylene glycol automove anfreeze, which is toxic

and will damage the system.

The propylene glycol formulaons sold in marine and RV stores are usually diluted with water.

The water remaining in the watermaker before the storage procedure will further dilute the

anfreeze, reducing the microbial protecon and increasing the temperature at which the mix-

ture will freeze.

Anfreeze labeled “Minus Fiy” is a 25% soluon and will begin to form an icy slush at about

+15Degrees F (-10C) and will only provide burst protecon to about Zero F (-18C). Aer a fur-

ther 50% percent diluon by water remaining in the watermaker, “Minus Fiy” anfreeze will

only protect from bursng down to about +25F (-4C). Therefore if low temperature freezing

protecon is required a 60% or stronger anfreeze should be used. 60% soluons are labeled

“Minus 100” and will provide burst protecon to -15F (-27C) even aer a y percent diluon

with residual water. “Minus 200” formulaons are pure propylene glycol.

Maintenance - Cont.

Introducon to Spectra Chemicals - Cont.

Complete microbial protecon requires a 25% soluon of propylene glycol, so care must be

taken that the soluon remaining in the watermaker during long term storage is at least 25%,

even if freeze protecon is not required. For these reasons Spectra recommends that all pick-

ling be carried out with a 60% or greater concentraon.

See Winterizing with Propylene Glycol.

Propylene glycol can be dicult to ush from a membrane, especially aer extended storage

periods. This results in high salinity water (high PPM) and residual avor in the product water.

We recommend ushing the system WITH THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OPEN for 4-6 hours

aer storage with propylene glycol—the longer the beer. If, aer extended ushing, you sll

experience low product water quality, cleaning with SC-2 usually removes all traces of propyl-

ene glycol and returns the salinity to the level it was before storage with propylene glycol. See

the Membrane Cleaning Procedure.

Cleaners

Avoid unnecessary cleaning, and avoid cleaning as a diagnosc tool.

SC-2 is an alkaline cleaner used to remove light oil, grime and biological growth. It is most

eecve if heated to 120 deg. F (49 deg. C). In most cases the water quality will increase in

PPM (salinity) aer an SC-2 cleaning. Aer a few hours it should recover to near the level it

produced before the cleaning.

SC-3 is an acid cleaner used to remove mineral and scale deposits. In most cases this is used

rst and if there is no improvement, go on to the SC-2 cleaning. SC-3 will in most cases lower

the product PPM and overall pressures. Scaling is a slow process that may take several months

or years.

For cleaning with either SC-2 or SC-3, see Membrane Cleaning Procedure.

Storage Procedure

1. Close the intake seacock.

2. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon to fresh water ush the system. Perform a second fresh

water ush in the same way.

3. Remove the quick disconnect ng from the brine discharge outlet of the Clark Pump, per

photo below, and replace it with the quick disconnect brine discharge service hose. Lead the

brine service hose into the bucket.

4. Push the Freshwater Flush buon and run the feed pump unl you have one gallon of fresh

water in the bucket from the brine discharge service hose, then press Stop.

5. Mix 1 container of SC-1 storage compound with the water in the bucket. It may not dissolve

completely, which is normal, and any undissolved parcles will be caught by the prelter.

6. Remove the hose from the “to strainer” pigtail on the feed pump module and install the inlet

service hose from the service kit, per photos below. Lead this hose into the 5 gallon (20 liter)

bucket as well.

7. Make sure the pressure relief valve on the Clark Pump is

OPEN (un-pressurized) by turning 1/2 turn counterclock-

wise

8. Turn on the feed pump by moving the manual control

switch on the control box to ‘SERVICE’. The soluon will

be drawn from the bucket with the service hose, and re-

turned to the bucket from the brine discharge service

hose. Circulate the storage chemical in the system for ap-

proximately 20 minutes. Stop the feed pump by moving

the switch back to the ‘RUN AUTO’ posion.

Clean Up

Remove the brine discharge service hose from the Clark Pump, and replace the brine discharge

hose that leads to the thru-hull. You may now pump the bucket dry by moving the manual con-

trol switch on the Control Box back to ‘SERVICE’. Stop the feed pump by moving the switch back

to RUN AUTO.

Remove the inlet service hose and reaach the hose from the sea strainer to the “To Strainer”

pigtail on the manifold at the Feed Pump Module. Drain and clean the strainer and any lters in

the system. Reassemble dry. Leave the pressure relief valve open, since the next me you run

the system you will need to purge the storage chemicals with the system unpressurized. Turn o

the power to the system.

Winterizing with Propylene Glycol

See descripon of propylene glycol formulaons, and purging from system, on page 50.

1. Close the intake seacock.

2. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon to fresh water ush the system. Perform a second fresh

water ush in the same way.

3. Remove the hose from the “To Strainer” pigtail, install the inlet service hose from the service

kit, and lead the hose to the boom of a bucket. Connect the brine service hose, and run it

into a second container.

4. Pour 1 gallon (4 liters) of propylene glycol of appropriate

concentraon into the bucket with the intake service hose.

5. Make sure the pressure relief valve on the Clark Pump is

OPEN 1/2 turn (un-pressurized).

6. Run the feed pump by switching the manual switch on the

control box to ‘SERVICE’ unl about a gallon of water has

owed from the brine discharge service hose, or anfreeze

appears. Propylene glycol will look slightly dierent, and

feel more slippery, than water. Stop the pump by moving

the switch back to ‘RUN AUTO’. Add more propylene glycol to the intake bucket if necessary.

7. Lead the brine discharge service hose into the intake bucket of propylene glycol. Move the

switch back to ‘SERVICE’. The service hose will now draw propylene glycol soluon from the

bucket, and the brine discharge service hose will return it. Run the feed pump and circulate

the propylene glycol for 20 minutes.

8. Stop the feed pump by switching the toggle switch back to ‘RUN AUTO’. Drain the seawater

strainer, the hose leading to the boost pump module, and the hose between the boost pump

module and the feed pump module. Disconnect the product tubing from the membrane hous-

ing and blow residual water out of the tubing. Empty the charcoal lter housing and ush wa-

ter lines. Leave the pressure relief valve open, since the next me you run the system you will

need to purge the system unpressurized.

Your watermaker is now protected from freezing and biological growth for one year.

Membrane Cleaning Procedure

Spectra cleaning compound (SC-2 or SC-3) must be mixed with fresh water at a rao of 1 container of

compound to 3 gallons (12L) of unchlorinated water. A Newport 400c system requires one container of

compound per cleaning.

1. Close the intake seacock.

2. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon to fresh water ush the system. Perform a second fresh

water ush in the same way.

3. Remove the quick disconnect ng from the brine discharge outlet of the Clark Pump, and

replace it with the quick disconnect brine discharge service hose. Lead it into a 5 gallon (20

liter) bucket. Push the Fresh Water Flush buon and run

the feed pump unl one gallon of fresh water runs into the

bucket from the brine discharge service hose. Press Stop.

4. Remove the hose from the “To Strainer” pigtail and install

the inlet service hose from the service kit. Lead both hoses

into the bucket.

5. Make sure that the pressure relief valve on the Clark

Pump is open (un-pressurized).

6. Mix the cleaning chemical in the bucket. If possible, heat

the soluon to 120 F (49 C).

7. Move manual switch on the MPC control box to SERVICE SYSTEM. The intake service hose will

draw soluon from the bucket and the brine discharge service hose will return it. Circulate the

soluon through the system in this manner for 45 minutes. Stop the pump by moving the

toggle switch back to ‘RUN AUTO’.

8. If the soluon cannot be heated, allow the soluon to sit overnight before proceeding to the

next step.

9. Replace the brine discharge overboard hose and run the pump unl the bucket is empty by

moving the manual switch to ‘SERVICE’. Return the switch to ‘RUN AUTO’.

10. Follow the New System Startup procedures to ush the chemicals out of the system (DO NOT

CLOSE the pressure relief valve!)

11. The system may now be restarted, ushed, or stored.

In the event of a sensor failure resulng in a shut down due to a false alarm, the failed sensor

can be overridden electronically, see System Sengs secon in this manual. High Pressure,

Service Prelter, System Stalled (airlock), and High Salinity can all be overridden and the

system will sll run automacally with all other funcons intact.

Be absolutely certain that the alarm is false before overriding the automac controls.

Alarm Override and Manual Operation

In the event of complete Spectra Connect control failure, the system

may be operated manually as follows:

• Switch on the feed pump by seng the feed pump switch to RUN

MAN. The automac safety controls are disabled in manual mode.

Shut the unit down if the Clark pump does not cycle, if air is

connuously present in the intake line, or if the feed pump is

excessively noisy.

• Always discard the product water for the rst few minutes of

operaon as the inial product water may not be potable. Take a

water sample by loosening the 1/4” product tube ng at either

the feed pump module or the membrane outlet. Check it with a

handheld salinity meter or taste it.

• The diversion valve is an electrically operated three-way valve,

which is normally energized by the MPC controls in order to send

water to the tank. It will not open automacally in manual mode,

and must be opened using the mechanical override buon. The

valve is located behind an access opening on the le side of the

feed pump module. Push the manual override buon in and

rotate 1/4 turn clockwise to open the valve.

Newport 400c Flow Test

The ow test is the most useful diagnosc test for system performance, and should be done

before replacing or cleaning your membrane. Changes in producon or water quality are

normally caused by something other than the membrane, unless the system has been le

unused for a long me.

Before the ow test, change all lters and clean the sea strainer. Carefully check for water or

air leaks, as air in the system will cause low producon and errac salinity. Look for air bubbles

in the product ow meter, feed water hoses, and brine overboard hose.

Run the system and watch the feed pressure very closely. If the feed pressure to the Clark

Pump is asymmetrical from one stroke to another, this could be part of the problem. A

dierence of a few PSI is acceptable, but anything over that is an issue. If the pump is

asymmetrical, Clark Pump repairs should be done before connuing with these tests.

If no asymmetry is noted, connue with this test.

You will need a graduated bucket, a smaller graduated pitcher or large measuring cup, and a

stopwatch. Measurements must be very accurate, as errors of just a few percent will skew the

results. Log the voltage at the feed pump at the same me. Conrm at least 12.5 volts at the

pump on 12-volt systems; 25 volts on 24-volt systems. You may have to run the engine or

baery charger during the test.

Take two measurements and compare them with the table on the next page. The first

measurement is the product flow alone. The second is the product flow combined with the

brine discharge flow to get the total flow or feed flow. You may take these measurements by

two methods:

1. First time the product flow into a graduated pitcher, then divert both the product flow and

brine discharge together into a bucket to measure total flow.

2. Divert the product flow into the pitcher while diverting the brine discharge into the bucket.

Time the flow of both. After calculating the product flow, pour the pitcher of product into the

bucket of brine to measure total flow.

The ratio of product flow to total flow gives us our recovery rate, as a percentage. If the

percentage is below the minimum it indicates an internal leak in the Clark Pump.

1. Product Flow: Product flow is expressed in Gallons Per Hour (GPH) or Liters Per Hour (LPH), by

this equation:

3600 ÷ time in seconds x quantity of water in gallons or liters=GPH or LPH

There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

Example: It took 3 minutes and 35 seconds to collect 1 gallon of product water.

3600 ÷ 215 x 1 = 16.74 GPH (3 minutes, 35 seconds is 215 seconds)

Example: It took 2 minutes and 25 seconds to collect 2.5 liters of product water.

3600 ÷ 145 x 2.5 = 62.07 LPH (2 minutes, 25 seconds is 145 seconds)

2. Total Flow or Feed Flow: Feed flow or total flow (brine + product) is expressed in Gallons Per

Minute (GPM) or Liters Per Minute (LPM) , by this equation:

60 ÷ time in seconds x quantity of water in gallons or liters = GPM or LPM

Example: It took 1 minute and thirty-seven seconds to collect 5 gallons of total flow.

60 ÷ 97 x 5 = 3.09 GPM (1 minute, 37 seconds is 97 seconds)

Example: It took 53 seconds to collect 12 liters of total flow.

60 ÷ 53 x 12 = 13.58 LPM

3. Recovery Rate: Product Flow ÷ Total Flow = Recovery Rate %

Example: 6.5 GPH product flow = .063 or 6.3%

1.7 GPM total flow x 60

(you must first multiply total flow by 60 to convert from GPM to GPH)

For every

of a GPM feed water ow loss, we will lose about

gallon per hour of product

ow and the salinity will go up 100 PPM.

Low feed ow combined with low system pressures is most frequently caused by a worn pump

head.

Poor Product Water Quality

With any product water quality issue, you must ensure accurate calibraon if you are using a

salinity meter. For general quality evaluaon, your taste is always good enough.

Membranes are not an exact science and two idencal systems can have dierent product

quality. World health standards deem water of up to 1000 PPM of total dissolved solids

acceptable for drinking. We consider any thing below 750 PPM acceptable but not ideal, and

anything below 500 PPM excellent. Factors that could aect water quality are addressed

below.

LOW SYSTEM FLOW OR PRESSURE will equate to lower product quality (higher PPM).

Newport systems, which have a higher feed to output pressure rao (See nominal

pressures under Flow Test), as well as a higher feed ow/membrane area rao, will

produce water in the 150-300 PPM range.

DAMAGE TO THE MEMBRANE by chlorine contaminaon. Flushing the system with

chlorinated water will irreparably damage the membrane. Charcoal lters are used to

absorb any chlorine which might be present in ush water. They must be of proper

specicaon to be suitable. There is no test for chlorine damage except the process

of eliminaon of other causes.

DIRTY OR SCALED membranes. A dirty (foreign material), scaled (mineral deposits), or

contaminated (bacterial growth) membrane can result in poor water quality and

abnormal operang pressures. If operang pressures are above normal, then cleaning

is indicated. If the system pressures are within operang normal range, cleaning may

have lile result. Avoid cleaning as a diagnosc tool. Low water quality aer storage

with propylene glycol can usually be remedied by extended ushing or an SC-2

cleaning.

MECHANICAL LEAKAGE within the membrane pressure vessel. This is an unlikely but

possible cause of poor water quality. A pinched or damaged O-ring within the

pressure vessel, a scratch on the product tube on the membrane, a scratch within

one of the end caps, or a seal fouled by contaminaon could allow sea water into the

product water.

If system ow (product plus brine) is 2.7 GPM (10.2 LPM) or above, the membrane is clean,

the product ows are consistent with the system ow and the water quality is sll not

acceptable, then replacement of the membrane is indicated.

Technical Bulletins

The following pages include Spectra’s most commonly-used technical bullens, covering tests,

adjustments, troubleshoong, and common points of confusion. Many more technical

bullens are available on the Spectra website, support.katadyngroup.com.

ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE

Your Newport 400c is supplied with a pressure accumulator tank (PL-ACC-TK) installed in the

feed water line on the feed pump and the Clark Pump.

The purpose of the feed line accumulators is to reduce the spikes in the feed pressure caused

by the cycling of the Clark Pump. If the accumulators are not properly charged it can lead to

pressure spikes and system shut down. The accumulator has a Schrader air valve, like a car

re, which allows the internal air bladder of the accumulator to be pre-charged. The

accumulator should be pumped up to about 60 PSI (4.1 bar) for best results. Add air using a

re pump or air compressor. You can experiment with the exact pressure that will give the

best pulsaon dampening on your installaon.

Schrader Valve

Feed Pressure Gauge

During normal operaon, the feed water is ltered in two stages. First it passes through a ne

mesh metal sea strainer, which protects the boost pump from foreign materials and sea

creatures. Aer passing through the boost pump, the feed water passes the lter housings

containing the 20 and 5 micron elements, removing very ne parcles that could damage the

feed pump or Clark Pump and shorten membrane life. An addional carbon lter prevents the

entrance of chlorine during fresh water ushing (see next page).

Prelter maintenance schedules will vary widely depending on how and where the system is

used. If large amounts of feed water are run through the system in biologically ferle near-

shore waters the prelter will plug up, water producon and quality will drop, and the system

pressure will change dramacally. In blue water condions the prelter may only need to be

changed every week or two.

When operated for only an hour or two a day in inland or near-shore waters, the trapped

organisms will begin to decay in the lters long before the elements plug up. These decaying

organisms will cause a roen egg smell in the product water. This decay will set in overnight in

tropical waters, or aer a week or two in higher latudes. Fresh water ushing will greatly

reduce this biofouling process, and must be done aer every use and at least once per week

during periods of nonoperaon.

PREFILTERS

It is important to remember that your Spectra Watermaker is designed to process clean, open-ocean

seawater. Any departure from that standard for your seawater intake runs the risk of causing excessive

wear or damage to internal pump parts and/or the vulnerable reverse osmosis membrane. Addional

preltraon consideraons and/or extremely frequent prelter replacements may be required in any de-

viaon from open-ocean seawater. Your local service provider or installer may have specic recommenda-

ons based on their experience with water condions unique to your region.

Observe the seawater around your vessel. Is it clean enough to use for your seawater intake? There are

several things to avoid feeding to your watermaker:

• petroleum products, such as oil, fuel, thinners, paints, paint removers, etc.

• chlorine-treated water; e.g., most “dock” water

• silty water — water contaminated by ne, hard, suspended parculates

• putrid water, “red des”, or any seawater that smells or looks contaminated

• harbor/marina water that you cannot see through or that shows visible signs of

contaminate (neighboring boats docked nearby may be discharging contaminaon!

Sewage, chemicals, etc.)

Judging the quality of seawater input always involves a certain calculated risk. We know of watermaker

systems that have been destroyed far oshore by intaking fresh whale excrement or oil contaminants

from natural seepages. The chance of such things happening is normally small but should be considered.

On the other hand, regularly running a watermaker in an enclosed marina or harbor runs a much higher

risk of harmful contaminaon. If you need to test a new installaon while in a marina or harbor, monitor

the water quality around your vessel carefully while tesng. Oen mes you should be able to run the

watermaker safely for enough me to briey check out the system if you are mindful of external feed con-

dions. If this is not possible, an arcial ocean is a useful alternave (see Page 30 for arcial ocean

tesng/instrucons). Don’t sail away without tesng a new installaon or repair!

CHARCOAL FILTERS

The charcoal lter element (FT-FTC-CC) removes chlorine from the fresh water ush water supply, as

the RO membrane can only handle small amounts of chlorine without permanent damage.

The charcoal lter used for the fresh water ush system will not plug up unless you have very dirty

domesc water in your boat’s supply tank.

The charcoal lter we supply removes 99.7% of the chlorine. Beware when buying other charcoal

lters. If they don’t specify the percentage of chlorine removed, don’t use them. Cheap ones may

remove only 60% or 70%. Also, there are aermarket lters which are very close to, but not exactly,

the right dimensions, and they will not seal in the housing. If you skimp on the charcoal lter you risk

damaging a $600.00 membrane on the rst ush. The other factor is the ow rate that the lter can

handle. Because the chlorine is adsorbed by the charcoal, it must remain in contact with the charcoal

for a sucient period of me for the all of the chlorine molecules to be captured. The lters we use

can handle 1.5 gallons (6 liters) per minute ow, and are good for 3000 gallons (12,000 liters) at 1.5

GPM, or six months, whichever comes rst. Regardless of the amount of water treated, the charcoal

loses its eecveness aer six months.

24V Leeson Motor Discontinued

The 24V 1/2 HP Motor (EL-MTR-1/2HP24) from Leeson has been permanently disconnued,

so we have made a permanent design change so that all Newport 400’s designed to run on

both 24V input power and 12V input power will ulize a 12V 1/2 HP Motor (EL-MTR-1/2HP12)

from Leeson. As of Spring, 2022 all Newport 400 systems (Both 24V & 12V conguraons) will

come equipped with a 12V 1/2 HP Leeson Motor.

This design change will only aect customers who purchased a 24V Newport 400 before

Spring 2022 and need to replace a failing or aging motor. If you are a customer or Spectra

Watermakers’ Authorized Distributor and need to replace a 24V 1/2 HP Leeson Motor, you

will need to order the 12V 1/2 HP Motor replacement (EL-MTR-1/2HP12) and then you will

need to manually lower the voltage that the PWM Speed Control is sending to the new 12V

Motor in order to get it to run at the proper speeds for “Run High”, “Run Low”, and “Flush”.

Contact Spectra Watermakers’ Technical Support and request the guide for manually reducing

the voltage from the PWM Speed Control on your 24V Newport 400 to your new 12V Leeson

Motor.

opons available.

Always use cauon when changing any factory default sengs, as serious damage can

occur.

The Spectra Connect automacally monitors the operaon of the system to ensure a long and

trouble-free service life. If an operang parameter changes, the Connect can switch operang

modes, shut itself down, or automacally store itself in order to protect your watermaker.

It includes advanced calibraon sequences to make proper setup and maintenance of your

watermaker easier than ever.

The onboard me clock feature allows for temporary power interrupons without detrimental

eects on the system. In some cases your watermaker will connue to funcon in its last

known operang state.

The Spectra Connect has built in data logging, allowing for easy access to historical operang

data—which can indicate a wearing component or spares to be carried along before a failure

occurs.

Built in warnings for preventave maintenance automacally alert a user of pending

maintenance items, helping to keep your watermaker’s up-me to 100%! Advance warnings

are pre-programmed for Prelter Life, Clark Pump rebuilds, feed pump heads, membranes, Z-

Ion reactor rod life, and carbon lter life. These warnings are reseable, allowing you to

perform the maintenance before a catastrophic failure, then reset the interval—so you’re

always on top of the maintenance cycle!

Fault Handling

Faults are hazardous condions that might occur during running of your watermaker. The control board has the

ability to monitor these faults in real me and take necessary acons to prevent damaging your equipment.

HIGH PRESSURE FAULT

High pressure fault is triggered if

Outlet pressure (Feed/Membrane pressure) > Pressure Limit

If a high pressure fault is triggered, the system goes to low producon mode if it is running in high producon

mode, or stops the operaon if it is already running in low producon mode. Then the system will begin

the Auto Store mode.

Optional Z-Ion Protection System

The Z-Ion, developed by Spectra, protects the enre system from fouling for extended periods

without fresh water ushing or storage chemicals (pickling).

The Z-Ion achieves this end by introducing a stream of metallic ions into the fresh water ush

water, thus ooding the enre system with ions that prevent biological growth for up to thirty

days. If you are going to let your system sit idle for longer than thirty days, you will sll need to

treat it with SC-1 storage chemical or propylene glycol.

The Z-Ion will not prevent freezing, so in freezing climates pickling with propylene glycol is sll

required. Even with the Z-Ion there may sll be cases when you need to pickle your system

with SC-1 storage chemical or propylene glycol, so we recommend you carry one of these

products at all mes.

If your system was ordered with the Z-Ion, it will require only some basic wiring and

commissioning, laid out in the following pages.

If you didn't order you system with the Z-Ion, it can be retroed to any Spectra system.

NOTE: Contact Spectra for more informaon at: techsupport@spectrawatermakers.com

If you ordered your system with a Z-Ion, the feed pump module will come with the Z-Ion

installed in place of the standard fresh water ush module, as shown, with a separate Z-Ion

electronic control box:

Z-Ion Installation

The Z-Ion should be energized at all mes, but will only consume power when operang. Upon

inial power-up the LED will ash red/green and then will turn solid green.

Follow the instrucons for Normal Operaon and Fresh Water Flush. For treatment with the

Z-Ion, the process is idencal, only the Z-Ion will release silver and copper ions into the ush

water when you turn on the generator with the on/o switch. Turn on the ion generator at the

same me that you open the ush valve.

The operaon cycle begins and the LED will ash green/amber. The cycle will connue unl you

turn o the ion generator or the adjustable mer mes out (factory set for 15 minutes).

Turn o the ion generator at same me that you close the ush valve. If you forget to turn o

the ion generator, the Z-Ion will me out aer 15 minutes, so no harm will be done to the unit.

If the voltage is out of range, below 10V or above 56V, the LED will ash red every two seconds

and the unit will shut down.

Each fresh water ush with the Z-Ion will protect your watermaker for up to 30 days, aer

which the process must be repeated.

Aer 720 cycles the service light on the front of the control box will light up, indicang that the

probes on your Z-Ion may be wearing down, and should be tested. The service light is just a
